WORLD WAR II MEMORIAL, THE(ISBN=9781588342102) 英文原版 txt umd azw3 下载 fb2 pdf 在线 免费

　　Assuming its rightful place of honor on the National Mall

between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument, the World

War II Memorial is an eloquent and moving tribute to “The Greatest

Generation.” Sixteen million Americans served in the armed

forces—more than 400,000 gave their lives—and millions supported

the war effort from home, all in the name of protecting that which

we, as Americans, hold most dear: freedom.

The World War II Memorial, published in conjunction with the

dedication of this long-overdue memorial, commemorates the everyday

Americans who in countless ways rose up to defeat one of history's

gravest threats to freedom. Veterans—including George H.W. Bush,

Sen. Daniel Inouye, former senators Bob Dole and George McGovern,

Yogi Berra, and many, many others—contribute their own personal

stories while leading historians look at the military campaigns of

the war. The memorial's architect and its sculptor provide insights

into how it symbolizes the fortitude and perseverance of a

generation, and the exclusive photographs present the memorial

through all stages of construction. Fittingly, this historic

tribute falls in the 60th anniversary year of D-Day, a time when

our nation once again reflects on its greatest sacrifice and

greatest victory in the name of freedom.
